I don't own Harry Potter big surprise!

Chapter 1 The book

"Have I mentioned lately just how much I love Potions?" Ron said in a heavily sarcastic voice.

"I'm to distracted by the joy I have from having a class with Slytherin to notice how wonderful the class is." Harry said laughing with Ron.

"Uh huh." Hermione mumbled her eyes still looking down reading a book she has had for the past few days.

"You read to much." Ron said shaking his head at her.

"Uh huh." She mumbled robotically.

"And I found a potion that can turn Snape into a little pink rabbit I think that I'm going to put it in his drink tonight at dinner." Ron said staring at her for a response.

"Uh huh."

Ron grabbed the book out of her hand and ran a little bit in front of her. She chased after him.

"Give that back!" He threw it to Harry "I'm not joking with you give it to me!" Harry threw it back to Ron and Harry grabbed Hermione around the waist and held her back. "Let go of me!" she screeched trying to get free.

"Now let's see what we've got here. Potions and Spells You Should Never Leave Home Without. Honestly can't you do anything but study?"

"What's so wrong with studying? Now let me go." Harry let go of her and Ron handed her back the book which she promptly used to smack him with then stormed off. Ron rubbed the spot where she hit him and walked towards the Great Hall with Harry. They sat down across the table from Hermione. She looked up long enough to glare at them then back down to continue reading her book.

"Look I'm sorry that I grabbed you book I just wanted to know what was so interesting. Forgive me?" Ron asked.

Hermione sat down the book and looked up. "Fine." They began to eat.

"So what are you reading in there?" Harry asked.

"I was just reading that's all."

"Why you read so much I'll never know." Ron said shaking his head stuffing more food into his mouth.

Later that night they sat around the common room doing their homework. "Hey Ron know any other ways I could get hurt? I've run out of ideas." Harry said handing Ron his Divination homework.

"You've completely left out your best source of accidents Care of Magical Creatures. Hagrid's bound to have something that can kill you."

Hermione shook her head at them. "Honestly you two I can't understand why you're in that class."

"Well as long as I almost die every week she gives me good marks." Harry said shrugging. "Well I'm done how about you Ron?"

"Ya I'm finished."

"Hermione?"

"No I've still got loads of work to do." She motioned to the piles of books and parchment around her. Just then a loud scream rang through the common room as a second year ran straight up towards his room. George and Fred stuck there heads out of the crowd looking at the frantic boy with identical evil grins.

"Come on Harry let's go see what they've done this time." Ron said. He and Harry ran over to Fred and George inquiring about the cause of the second years panic. Hermione turned back to her school work. Flipping through some pages and finding nothing she slammed the book shut. She put her quill down and rubbed her eyes she looked down at the table and saw Potions and Spells you Should Never Leave Home Without. She reached over and picked it up flipping through its pages she found what she has been reading about for the past few days. 'Some of these ingredients are going to be tough to find' she thought 'but I bet there are some in the forest. She'd go there tomorrow as soon as she could get rid of Harry and Ron. I didn't need them asking questions.' She thought as she put down the book then began to do her homework again.
